Photographer's Note

Glacier Grey in the Torres del Paine National Park is not as easily accessible as the famous Perito Moreno. There are tours starting from the Hosteria Lago Grey twice daily (3h roundtrip boat). As far as I remember the tour was about 80USD per person but it does include a whiskey sour tasting :) Driving to Hosteria Lago Grey is adventure itself as the road is unpaved and pretty bad quality as all the roads in the park ("ripio").
I have showed already a view of the glacier itself. Here you see a view from the Hosteria Lago Grey which I took waiting for the tour. The color of the lake has a greyish tone indeed, different than mostly green color of other lakes and rivers in the park. The glacier itself is not visible here. To the right from the mountain which appears as the highest in this photo you can spot the Cuernos del Paine and just the tips of the Torres del Paine, this is a less typical perspective though so the ranges are not as recognizable as from the other side.

Hello Mariusz,
The scenery is breathtaking but I am most of all impressed by the colours, clear and well saturated yet very mild green, light blue, brown and yellow. The picture is beautifully sharp.

Gert

hi mariusz,
this is an amazing landscape and you have shown it here in all its majesty. the depth of field is excellent and the picture incredibly sharp, especially the mountains in contrast to the movement you have achieved in the clouds by a slow shutter speed.

Hello Mariusz,
Nice capture from this National Park in Patagonia.
Very good pov and nice soft light.
The still water at the center is quite attractive.
Interesting notes as well.
TFS and have a nice weekend

Hi Mariusz
you spoke about how i had Times Square all to myself...well, it looks like you have Chile all to yourself! :)
it truly is awe inspiring to view these types of landscapes.
the clouds are a cool adition, and there are so many textures and contrasts in forms all over the frame, too many to mention.
a wonderful collection of mother nature.
enjoy your day

Hello Mariusz - A wild and beautiful landscape with four distinct layers of interest. The colours are subtle and restrained. An image of superb quality and detail. Nice work indeed. Best regards Rosemary

Hello Mariusz,
nice the panoramic view of the glacier Grey with the lots of details and the beauty of the place to make the scene so beautiful and adorable. I like the different created layers, from the land,the lake the snowy Mts and the sky, to make the image so successful and well seen.

Hi Marius,you know how i like your works in hdr and this is another fantastic result,a beautiful place and a magnificent result in lights,colors,sharpness...very well done,have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

excellent perspective view, it is a fascinating beautiful scene - also because of its colours, of course.
I especially like it how the pattern of clouds in the blue sky matches the pattern of snow on the mountains:)

Also, how curious is the juxtaposition of a fragile piece of greenery (a little young tree?) in the foreground and the huge solid high mountain in the background.

Hello Mariusz,
The Patagonia is an immense very remarkable and spectacular region. I like the foreground, the neatness and the depth. The sky and the mountain are magnificent. Excellent quality. Bravo.
Have a nice sunday
Cordially

Hi Mariusz,
this sight from the Hosteria is a real marvel, be there for to contemplate these beautiful mountains calmly, is a real gift for our eyes.
And your photo also makes us enjoy this great beauty, by means of a good framing, a wide visual angle, and a great depth of image.
An excellent work with the exposure, with which you have achieved a nice light and a few soft colors which give a high quality to the composition.
It's a beautiful picture.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Mariusz
The nature is so huge and wild down there.. and your picture shows that quite well.
You probably got the most out of unstable light conditions, with sufficient contrast and natural looking colours.
Greetings

Excellent presentation of this beautiful landscape with a composition in three plans well delimited which give a great depht. The top of the mountains give graphic effect and arise well in the cloudy sky.
Have a nice Sunday,
Roger

Hi Mariusz
Fantastic landscape, good light management and nicely exposed. the wonderful sky and mountain have added drama to the image. A very impressive scenery rarely seen and you have captured, beautiful colours and we can almost feel the coldness and the clean air up there. I like the different textures and the great sharpness of it!
Amazing capture, well done
Best regards

So you've been hiding this treasure from us for 3 months? You're so mean! :) It's absolutely stunning. Of course the landscape is remarkable, so wild, vast and unpopulated. But the quality of your composition and the post-processing is in a level of it own. COngratulations, this photo is extraordinary, as is your talent.

Warm regards
Lisa
PS: the Outlaws report snow falling in Donegal during the week. I hope the weather has not been similarly miserable for you in Dublin

Hello Mariusz.
A superb scenery, a wonderful composition, love the POV, with these green bushes in the foreground, the cold waters of the lake and the impressive backdrop backdrop of high mountains, the sky is pretty impressive with these clouds, a beautiful work that makes us enjoy.
Perfect brightness, sharpness and great color.
Good start of week.
Best regards.
Luis.

Hello Mariusz
You had these gems hidden in your computer for so long??
We can identify the peaks of Torres del Paine even though they are a bit far & froma different angle. Light seemed to have been tricky but you handled it very well. The green water (glacial origin) look beautiful. As always you have a FG in the composition which adds depth, but I feel cropping an inch & a half from the bottom would not have done much harm :-).

I guess, I couldn't never get tire of looking at this scenery. especially from a different perspective, and different light. Once again, you have some incredible view even if it not as clear the air, but the whole mountains are well exposed and I can spot a few glacier block floating on the lake. Excellent wide open POV, and the foreground trees adds depth and enhanced the composition nicely.

Before Lago Sarmiento I want to say few things about this other lake which you posted earlier.
The place is so beautiful that it deserved another photo which showed the whole whereabouts (I hope this is the right word in English). Every thing is fine and interesting: the foreground, the lake and the hills in the middle-ground and of course the superb mountains of Torres del Paine in the background. The clouds in the sky indicates an unstable weather as often is the case in those extreme regions and adds a touch of exoticism.
I guess the light had to be very strong but the results are quite good.
TFs,
Donato
